“Our June Edition Cover @mediaroomhub_ is out and on it we have Oluwatoyosi Ogunseye, @estheriayaoba @toyosiogunseye.

She was recently elected to serve as the Vice President of the World Editors Forum at the WAN-IFRA conference in Scotland, making her the first African to occupy the position.

Currently, Ogunseye is the head of West Africa at the BBC World Service.

Her journalism journey began while she was still in the University and she has continued to invest in her craft.

After a 7-year stint at Nigeria’s biggest circulating newspaper, The Punch, Ogunseye left as Editor of its Sunday paper.

She has won numerous local and international awards.

Ogunseye is a two-time recipient of the CNN/MultiChoice African Journalist of the Year Award and the first Nigerian to receive the Knight International
